49ers acquired OG Laken Tomlinson from the Lions in exchange for a 2019 fifth-round pick.

The No. 28 overall pick in 2015, Tomlinson struggled his first two years in the league and was nowhere near the starting competition in Detroit. In fact, he was not even guaranteed to make it through final cuts, so the Lions did good work getting back a fifth for him. He will slot in behind LG Zane Beadles and RG Brandon Fusco in San Francisco. Thu, Aug 31, 2017 12:21:00 PM

That was the case before training camp, and it remains the case at the end of August. According to MLive, Tomlinson is behind Joe Dahl in the pecking order and fighting to be kept on as the final reserve lineman. Graham Glasgow and T.J. Lang will open the season as the starting guards for Detroit. Thu, Aug 31, 2017 10:35:00 AM

The former No. 28 overall pick out of Duke was picked by ex-GM Martin Mayhew and has no ties to new boss Bob Quinn. Tomlinson has started 25 games in two seasons but was benched mid-season last year before being forced back into the lineup due to injuries. Tomlinson graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 65 guard out of 77 qualifiers. Graham Glasgow is expected to start at left guard. Wed, Jun 21, 2017 09:24:00 AM

Tomlinson made double-digit starts his first two seasons, but is coming off a down 2016. With T.J. Lang and Graham Glasgow expected to man the starting guard jobs, Tomlinson could face competition for a backup role. Tomlinson is set to make $2.3 million in the third year of his rookie deal.

There was some concern over Garcon's status as a 31-year-old coming off a neck injury. He's expected to be cleared for the 49ers' offseason program and isn't a cut candidate despite a $9M-plus cap number. Garcon was on pace for a 1,000-yard season before going down in Week 8. With a full year as the No. 1 receiver in a Jimmy Garoppolo offense, Garcon's stock is on the rise entering 2018.

It means Brown will miss all of OTAs. Brown had been playing through a torn labrum since November, but the 49ers wanted to get started on his rehab as soon as possible. Brown will need to avoid setbacks to be ready for training camp.
